We regret that at the time the pictures were taken the team had not been selected. Due to an excess of skilled players on the Knappa lineup, it was im¬ possible to choose a regular nine girl lineup. The Knappa High School Girl s' Softball Team has been undefeated for four years. School spirit and team sportsmanship have attributed to the glory of the team. The first game of the season was played at Jewell on April 4th. The teams had little practice, but we came out with a decisive 25-12 victory. Knappa found the competition keener when they played Westport on Ap¬ ril 22. The final score of 7-5 favored Knappa. On April 25, the Knappa girls had a frenzied bit of hitting to bring the closing score of 30-5 in Knappa's favor. This was a game that will long be remembered by the teams because the Knappa team displayed some of the hardest hitting of the season. Three home runs were made in this game. The 16-7 victory over Westport was the highlight of the season, as it brought to the Knappa Softball Team an undefeated season of hard ball play¬ ing.
